I had a similar problem when I changed my pads but stripped down the brake cylinders when I changed them (to see what sort of condition they were in) as I thought I had sticking pads. When I put them back together and bled the system I had a very 'long' pedal but was fine when the engine was off (no...

The aircan compressor is on the LHS of the engine (when facing the windscreen) and has 2 aluminium pipes coming out of it...one gets hot when a/c on and the other cold.
